as soon as J10CE are inducted official the squadron will attain combat ready status within a month or less.
@MastanKhan
in one of your post you had pointed out that pilots training of AESA will have to "un-learned" the previous methods.
I want to add food for thought.
there is a wide difference in close couple delta combat envelope and lets say "F16" combat envelope. why are you considering that CAT A pilots trained of J10CE.
there are quite a lot of Mirage drivers who know how to handle a delta in close combat as well in BVR.
this is the reason why more the 50+ (approx) made the conversion in china and nobody noticed. (secret aside)
F16s pilots stay at F16s - new league of delta drivers are in town. who have been exposed to AESA from Get go!
wonders of having 1 is 2.5 cockpit ratio
